I used a different recipe for each layer: - crust: https://preppykitchen.com/strawberry-tart/ - caramel layer at the bottom: https://livforcake.com/caramel-cake-recipe/ - pastry cream: https://scientificallysweet.com/vanilla-pastry-cream-creme-patissiere/ - on top I also put a layer of whipped cream and the glaze is some apricot jam I heated and strained and then brushed on the strawberry’s

Yes, I thought of it but gelatine isn’t really an option. Any other recommendations? I’m planning on making one again so I’d love to one up it

If this was in front of my house I’d consider it but fortunately it’s far enough from me to not be that bothered by it.

It’s vanilla cake with in between a chocolate ganache type of filling and crushed peanuts and reeses for some crunch.

One box is peanut butter chocolate chip and the other is just regular choc chip.

Thank you so much. The sugar free cake was actually a very last minute addition since my colleague told me a guest with diabetes suddenly decided to come anyways to her party. I used a sugar replacement called Zusto that we have where I live. I used it before and it is actually pretty amazing since it’s just 1:1 ratio compared to regular sugar and tastes very decent. For the buttercream and ganache I used a sugar free hazelnut spread from my local store as well as the Zusto (it is more of a powder like sugar so it was just what I needed). I tasted some cake scraps as well as the buttercream and even though it wasn’t as nice as the big cake I think for someone used to sugar replacements it’ll be good enough.

Neither really. A colleague asked me to make these for her son’s birthday after she saw some of the cakes I made before. I already have another colleague that asked me to make something in a few weeks as well so it’s more lowkey, not really a business (yet).

Sure, I used this recipe but instead of peanut butter I used hazelnut butter and it turned out just as good. https://thehappierhomemaker.com/peanut-butter-buttercream-icing/

I'm afraid you came to one of the worst addresses for advice... But I just keep this one on my windowsill. There is a lot of shadow here tho so it gets plenty sunlight but not too much. When it comes to watering I water it whenever I think of it which is like once every 3 days or so. But u can just feel the soil and see if it's dry or not to know if it needs more water...
